Central Park Nature

Edward S. Barnard, the author of New York City Trees, is presently writing a book on Central Park trees. He has also written five books for children on animals and edited several dozen books on natural history. He is keenly interested in old growth trees and has volunteered as a tree ring technician at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

Ken Chaya is an artist and art director who has produced numerous books on travel, American history, and nature. He recently created Central Park Entire, The Definitive Illustrated Map, which locates over 19,000 trees and identifies them by species. He lives in New York City with his wife and son and one dog, which he walks in the park everyday.
